The Country of the Pharaohs is a place where you can contemplate history. An ancient story that goes back to more than 3 thousand years ago, when the waters of the Nile River still could not be fully controlled, unless they worshiped their gods, and of course the Pharaoh.

Although it has been a long time since that, there is still customs and traditions that persist throughout the country, especially in the main cities of Egypt. Let us know what they are.

The city of Aswan is the southernmost city in the entire country. In the time of the pharaohs, Egypt began in this place, since it is located just below the first waterfall, where from there you could navigate without problems until you reach the delta. Currently it opens the doors to all visitors who step on its streets.
